La Pashe 4 day deal on Create & Craft TV

Have you caught any of the shows yet?

They are on Create & Craft TV today at 9am & 3pm

I haven't seen any yet but I hope to catch one of  them!

I love the La Pashe artwork, it's all about fun & is so fresh.

The decoupage is a dream to cut out & layer up!

The matching background papers are fab too!

You can also team up the images with items from your stash

as I did here! Thanks so much for popping in.

If you'd like any more info, just leave me a little

comment & I'll get back to you!

Sneak Peek Time

Morning all, have you heard there's a new CD about to be launched by 

La Pashe!? It's called "The Pet Set"

I was lucky enough to be asked to make some samples for the launch,

using some of the decoupage sheets

Here's one of them

This is called Team work. 

The gorgeous background papers are from the CD too.

The CD has lots of cats, dogs, horses and even some birds, due to popular demand!

I made asimple little card with the addition of some Jute Ribbon & a couple of buttons.

The card base is a bit bigger than A5 just to give you an idea of scale.

(I do apologise about the photo quality but the weather was 

rubbish & I was keen to get these posted off)

You can just about see the dimension in this photo!

As always, the decoupage is a dream to cut out.

Will be releasing the new CD Rom  on 

 Create & Craft TV 

Freeview 36, Sky 674, Virgin 748 & Free Sat 813

Ironing Fairy -La Pashe

Hi all, Happy Friday!

Today's card is one I made recently using the 

Gomes & Faries CD from La Pashe

Hands up who has the Gnomes & Faires Too CD on order?

This is the Ironing Fairy, if you hadn't already guessed!

I think we could all do with one of these!

I cut her out with a Spellbinders Grand Circle Die & matted on to a

Scalloped Circle. The base card was done the opposite way round.

The paper & sentiment is also from the CD & I've added a ribbon bow to embellish.

A little side view to show the dimension! 

Here's a little heads up, La Pashe will be on Create & Craft TV tomorrow,

I'll post more details then but keep the 10am & 2.00pm slots in your day free!

Thanks so much for popping in today! 

I hope you like my little card!

Doppelganger

Hi everybody, it's Friday!!!

My all time favourite day!

I'm in work today but at a different location so wish me luck! lol

Here is the card I have to share today!

This is Doppelganger from The Grumps range @ La Pashe

Sorry the photo quality isn't great!

They say owners & their dogs look alike..... not sure in this case if the owner 

looks like the dog or the dog looks like the owner but.....

 there is a distinct resemblance there!

Not too much else to say about this little card!

It's actually an A5 tent fold.

The decoupage was cut out & layered up with pinflair glue.

The papers & sentiment I've used are also from La Pashe.

I cut the image out with a Spellbinders Die

I added a couple of Faux Leather fishtails &  a few 

little buttons from my stash! I haven't decorated the inside of this one.

Perhaps a plain insert would be best.

Thanks for popping in, hope you like it! 

Happy Bloomin' Birthday

Hi all, I have a card to share today!

This one is made using a decoupage sheet from the 

Grumps range over at La Pashe 

Time For Wine

The card base is 8x8".

The papers are from The Best Of La Pashe 2014 CD rom.

I used plain brown paper as a matt & distressed everything with a pair of 

serrated scissors. I stained the edges of the image with coffee & added

coffee cup & wine glass rings to distress further.

The sentiment was part of the decoupage sheet too.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you like my card!

The decoupage was cut & layered.

The paper & sentiment I have used are also by La Pashe

Sweet & simple!

Today I'm sharing a little fairy easel card with you!

Meet The Bubble Bath Fairy from the La Pashe

Gnomes & Fairies CD Rom

Perfect for so many occasions!

The DP is from the CD & there are many more on there!

I've added the sentiment as the stop, some ruffled ribbon & a pretty butterfly

 charm to embellish!

Here's a closer look at her! I've glittered her up a bit but I'm not sure

you can see it in the picture!

I love all the detail in the background, it seems such a shame to cover it up!

I used my favourite Martha Steward Doily punch for the border.

& of course a touch of glamour dust.

The inside of the card is decorated too.

Not sure if you can see the sparkle in the photo below!

My Favourite Technique

Hi everyone, the challenge for February over at The Crafting Cafe is

Unfortunately, our original sponsor for this month had to pull out but Sammy,
one of the DT, has kindly stepped in to sponsor the challenge instead!

I have to admit to having far too many favourites to choose from!

 I thought I'd share this card with you as my DT project.

It's made using a decoupage image, from La Pashe.
This is available as a pre printed sheet, a download or on the
Best of La Pashe 2014 CD Rom

I cut it out & layered it up using pinflair glue then
 placed on a round rocker card.

I also tied a big double bow with some faux silk ribbon.

I hope you like it & I hope you can play in the challenge over at

The Crafting Cafe
to show us your favourite technique!

Fantastic Giveaway

Hi all,

You may be aware of the popularity of Harris Tweed at the moment.
There are all sorts of items made from it nowadays!

Recently, an email appeared in my inbox, telling me about a new e-book 

which has just been released.

Harris Tweed Appliqué For Beginners by Chris Hammacot

It's a beautiful book, filled with information, wonderful easy to follow

 instructions, video clips, photographs & more.

You will, without a doubt be inspired to try out the technique, using this wonderful fabric.

Create hand or machine applique with 'Harris Tweed' - in easy steps! Chris Hammacott leads you through plump cushions, quirky tea cosies, a table runner and a wall-hanging, all given the rugged but cosy personality of 'Harris Tweed'. Designs are inspired by Chris's croft life on the Isle of Lewis; and her sheep, chickens, cats and pugs. 

The Kindle cover has reverse applique sheep.

A scarecrow with tweed hat decorates a denim jacket

Three-dimensional flowers enhance a sweater.

Follow the guidelines and techniques, and watch the author demonstrating on the video clips. Whether you are a complete beginner or a more advanced student, Chris will convince you of the wonderful qualities of 'Harris Tweed' for applique.

The book is available for download or as a CD Rom from

either Vivebooks here or Amazon here.

However, I have one copy of the book on CD Rom to giveway.
To be in with a chance to win, simply add your details to the linky below.

can come & join in the fun too.
